Performance

The Pathfinder's 3.5-liter V6 engine provides 284 horsepower while still getting 27 miles per gallon on the highway and 21 miles per gallon around Simpsonville and Anderson, SC. You can tow up to 6,000 pounds of toy hauler or camper. There are seven drive modes to help maximize the powertrain's performance, regardless of road conditions. You can dial in tow, performance, economy, snow, mud/rut, and sand modes for the safest and most efficient driving. The tow mode has downhill speed control and trailer sway control to make towing safer. The Pathfinder has available four-wheel drive with direct coupling.

Interior/Exterior

Inside, the Pathfinder can seat up to eight passengers with plenty of room for their cargo. If you opt for the spacious captain's chairs in the second row with the center console, you have seating for seven passengers. A tilt and slide system provides easy access to the third row of seating. Having a mid-size SUV that can seat eight helps when you are navigating tight parking lots. The second and third rows of seating can fold down. Pair that with a motion-activated liftgate, and your soccer mom action in Powdersville and Greenville, SC is a breeze.

Outside, the Nissan Pathfinder is regal with its large, squared grill, sleek headlamps, and rounded lines.
